Types of Dress shoes for Women
God's Plenty is hereHeels
for the women of perfect balance
Wanna look sexy wearing a heeled shoe? -- A right choice if you have the right balance, especially when you want to wear Stiletto or high raised block heel! Worries aside if you lack the balance, choose wedge shoes or opt for medium or low-heeled shoe and wonder at the gorgeous curves of your foot!
Stiletto Platform
These shoes are with thick sole. These shoes are made of cork, plastic, wood or rubber. Platform shoes made of wood are called as clogs.
Wedge
Short heel -- less than 1" high
Medium heel -- 1" to 2.5"
High heel -- above 2.5"
Ballerina
Ballerina shoes are modeled on ballad shoe. They are boat shaped and come in funky designs. Unlike ballet shoes they may have a curvy, heeled bottom with or without angle straps.
Open-toed
Wearing an open-toed shoe in winter can be a greatest blunder--a fashion faux pas--as your little toes don't show up nice in the biting cold. But open-toed shoes are still a good choice in other seasons: They half reveal, half conceal!
Strap upper
If you are a women gifted with gorgeous foot and do not wish to be too humble, strap upper shoes are really for you. With the strap upper covering only a little of your foot (for holding your legs with shoe), you can show off your natural beauty. Strap uppers come in variety of colors with different ornamentations. How about a warm yellow color strap upper with a cherry red flower budding between your toes! Yeah it means different to different people. Don't just get stuck with yellow and red (though they are most beautiful), there are lots and lots of colors and design to choose. And one final message: don't wear them in the winter: fashion cops out there may sue you for violating open-toe pledge!!!
Mary Janes
The name strikes familiar, especially for the little ladies. Designed for girls, they are now worn by grown girls too--a buckle strap around the instep, closed toe, low heel. In contemporary times, Mary Janes has evolved into platform Mary Janes, with high heel owing to fashion.
Espadrilles
Espadrilles are glamorous shoes that can best reveal the feminine beauty. Characterized by ropy sole made of natural or artificial fibers, they integrate mostly all designs and models in them: open or closed toe, strap uppers, high, medium or low heel, with or without ankle straps.
Mule
Tired of wearing straps and buckles but at the same time wanting to be fashionable, ladies choose Mule shoe. They come in variety of models but in principal they are backless and slip-on.
Clog
Both men and women wear clog dress shoes. They are mostly wooden shoes that contain thick sole and have leather on upper side. You can wear it as protective clothing in factories, mines and farms. This can also be called as sabot.
Moccasins
Moccasin consists of single layer section. The piece in moccasin is molded upwards from the under surface to the gathered edges of the vamp.
Saddle Shoe
Imagine a white horse with a black saddle on the top. Yes. This is what a saddle shoe exactly is -- Laced shoe with a color-contrasting band over the instep. Usually saddle shoes come with black and white colors -- white for the upper and black for the "saddle".
